    <h1>InfoBox</h1>
    <p>
InfoBox extends the Google Maps JavaScript API V3 <tt>OverlayView</tt> class.
 <p>
 An InfoBox behaves like a <tt>google.maps.InfoWindow</tt>, but it supports several
 additional properties for advanced styling. An InfoBox can also be used as a map label.
 <p>
 An InfoBox also fires the same events as a <tt>google.maps.InfoWindow</tt>.</p>
    <p>For a description and examples of how to use this library, check out the <a href="examples.html">how-to</a>.</p>
